About The Modern Day Matriarch
Your Soft Place To Land
The Modern Day Matriarch is the cozy corner where softness is honored, stories are held close & the everyday rhythm of womanhood are celebrated.
A space for…
The ones who love their homes & the ones still learning to love their homes.
The ones who love themselves & the ones still learning to love themselves.
The ones figuring it out between the endless laundry loads, shared meals, quiet mornings & big dream.
This is your invitation to slow down, make space & there’s beauty in imperfection.
We honor & find joy in..
Sunday dinners & stocked pantries.
the power in choosing kindness.
the magic of going the extra steps.
The community reflects who we are.
We are women who love deeply, create intentionally, gather with care & show up.
We show up with our never-ending to-do list or nothing much going on
We show up with braids that should’ve come out yesterday or a fresh silk press.
We show up in a fancy ‘fit or our favorite sweats.
We show up.
So whether you’re learning to season your cast iron, hosting your first or fiftieth dinner party, or simply looking to breathe deeper, there’s room for you at the table.
Meet Dee
Hey, I’m Dee!
A Midwest raised, apron-wrapped mommy, wife, sister, educator, host, forever friend & The Modern Day Matriarch.
This community was created because I wanted to share a space that felt like my favorite place in the world… my Granny’s house. A place where you’re fed, you learn something & you feel the magic. I'm inspired by the women who paved the way for me, my Granny, B. Smith, Martha Stewart, Georgia Gilmore & so many more. This is a space for women rewriting what it means to keep house, keep history & keep going.
I am living the life I dreamed about. Full of community, creativity, joy & beautifully ordinary moments. Dinner parties with friends, school drop-offs & meeting, cozy nights in, piddling in the garden, creek walks & road trips to see what’s out there. To me, being a domestic diva isn’t small work, it’s sacred. It’s how we care for ourselves & each other. It saves life. It holds families together. It changes the world.
Granny always told me I have the magic. She taught me to trust my gut, be open to everything & attached to nothing. I hope this space becomes a soft place to land, a space full of comfort, care, conversation & creativity. A place where you feel seen, fed & inspired.
So, if you’re looking to build a home you love, hold space for people you love, or just trying to love yourself a little more along the way, you’ve made it to the right spot!
